  • I remember getting into arguments with people about what germ theory is and how it works because they couldn’t understand stats and graphs. They were saying “see masks and social distance doesn’t do anything. Literally nothing. Look this charts shows that the regular flu went down during covid-19. Doesn’t that mean something?”

    Like “yeah, it means social distancing and putting on masks slow the spread of germs. That was why we were wearing them remember? That whole flatten the curve thing.”

    “No I thought it was to not get sick at all.”

    “Nope, just to slow the spread. I’m not sure where you get your news, but it seemed clear to me.”

    " Well so and so did whatever and got sick so nothing preventative worked."

    “If nothing preventative worked then we wouldn’t have seen this spread staring to slow down when compared to other countries that didn’t implement x, y, or z. Also it slowed the spread of the flu because that’s how germs work.”
